so we have to really understand that this is more of about internalizing science and making the science become a part of the cultural vocabulary. the thing about this huge crowd of misinformation is that essentially people are very naive and the arts can help make and catalyze more of an emotional discussion because the flurms already speak. we've had record level droughts. we've had record level fire storms. of course now storms. colorado, texas, the list goes on of places that have been hammered. and you know, you have to be an absolute fool or somebody like george fwoush not process that. but you still -- it's increbled. people -- you still have to point out. your house is on fire. and they're like really? you know, anyway, that's my take on it as a downtown d.j. >> let's try get one short question from the gentleman. i promise. this will be the last question and the last answer on the left. >> thank you. >> so part of what you said about the gift-giving economy, david greber wrote a book on gifted economy and he wrote another book which touches on the certain things that came up wit

i predict that big data and network science are going to merge. marrying the internet of data with the internet of things in new ways and this will be world changing. just as in the 1800's there was a shift from electricity as a curiosity to a commodity made possible by the emergence of electrical engineering, so, too, now are we in the midst of a shift in data as a commodity and more importantly data as a resource in ways not previously imagined. data is growing at a volume much greater than the tools available to process it, but new tools are being engineered that will enable us to take massive amounts of structure and unstructured data and create useful information. during the past three years, in fact a number of government data , federal government data sets available on data sharing sites has grown from 57 to more than one million. the numbers expected to exceed 10 million by 2015. dr. jim and his team, he is one of the creators of the semantic web, collaborating with the white house, have developed smart interfaces that allow government dat
